## Abstract

A network using existing streetlights is described. Each street light becomes a node in the network, arid each includes a power terminal for receiving electrical power, a light source coupled to the power terminal, a processor coupled to the power terminal, a network interface coupled between the processor and the network of lighting systems, and a sensor coupled to the processor for detecting a condition at the node, and in response providing information about that condition to the processor.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A node for a network of lighting systems, the node comprising:
a power input terminal for receiving electrical power;
a light source coupled to the power input terminal;
a processor coupled to the power input terminal;
a network interface coupled between the processor and the network of lighting systems; and
a sensor coupled to the processor for detecting a condition at the node, and in response providing information about that condition to the processor, and wherein the processor executes at least one of a control or application function in response to the information provided by the sensor.
